To all whom it mm concern."

Be it lmown. jthat UMBERTO MAGNI a citizen of the'l lnited States, residing at 05 "enlarged water aepacit'y with'a g'reater heat radiating surface within a given area than has heretofore been provided.

Another object of the invention is to provide a radiator of staunch construction which will withstand the shocks and vibra tions of usa 'e without springing'a leak and to that end fprovide a set of units separated by a partition plate which is so designed and constructed that it will serve to inter lock the adjacent units with the solder that holds the parts together the plate itselfli serving the additional function of providing more radiation surface.

A further object is to provide a partition and strengthening plate which embodies a relatively small amount of metal, thereby reducing the costof manufacture, and to that end and for the additional purpose of stirring up the air currents Jassing through the cells, I Gerforate the plate at frequent intervals w' ere it will not affect the strengthenin g function of the plate or its function as a means for interlocking with the water tube units. A

Another object of the invention is to provide a radiator which will accomplish the above purposes and yet will not difier in appearance from other cellular radiators of the square hole type. y

In the accompanjyino drawings--- Figure 1 is a front elevation of apportion of an automobile radiator embodyingmy invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail perspective view oiia part of two sections of Watertnbe units embodying my invention.

Fig. 3 is a detail. vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 5. it I Fig. -1 is a detail side elevation of a portion of one watertiibe unit.

Fig .5 is' a horizontal section on the line Il 5615 Fig. 3. Y

ter being Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view of a portion of one partition plate. Fig. 7 is a view similar to (i shoW- mg a modified form oi partitionplate, t". 8. one having differently formed openings.

In the drawings in. which like letters and numbers of reference indicate like parts in all the figures, 1. is a strip of suitable metal from which one,-half of. a Water tube is made. The strip 1 is loent upon. itself lot of the strip lacing brought together and. soldered as at 5.; l

The vertical part or the strip 1 eon-- caved as at 2 o that theedges of adjacent half-units may he brought together anl soldered -as at '4" thus leaving vertical.

Water passages 2-0 vvitlii lateral pockets to form a reservoirtor the Water which is to circulate through the same. A water tube unit consists of two strips 1 haped as shown and above described.

In order to firmly fasten the "adjacent units of the radiator together as well as to offer additional metal to radiate the heat and conduct it from the circulating water I provide apartition plate 8 between each pa n. of "water tube units. This plate con stitutes one of the essential feature of the present invention. it consists of a thin sheet o'f'metal having, at suitable intervals,

transverse ridges 9 and grooves 10, the lat-- located. between the former, the ridges 9, also providing: groove 11 for a purpose later explained. The plate 8 is provided with holes or passages 12 through thesame; the exact shape or form of the holes. being immaterial so long as they donot interfere with the innctirmv of the plate as an interlocking: and strengthening medium for the adjacent tV'lilLfil4l3lllJQ units. From the drawings it will also'he observed that the grooves 10 alternate to opposite sides of the plate 8 and are the same distance apart as are the bonds of the laterals 6 so as to receive the same and when solder is placed in the groove: ii to secure the plate and water tuhe unit together, all tendency of the units to slide up and down on the plate is avoided. It will also he seen that While solder may be used to secure the units to the plate in the grooves 16 well as in the grooves 11 yet by reason of the fact that the bend of the laterals 6 of the units rest, throughout ei-ally at suitable intervals at 6 the edges their lengths in the grooves 10 it Will only be necessary to solder alternate ones where the solder 13 will engage in the grooves 11 and with the adjacent bend of the lateral 6. VVh This reduces the amount of solder usually radiator of similar size heretofore in common use and thereby further lowers used in the expense of LunStIuCtlOIl.

The top and bottom of the strips 1 are folded over singly as at 2 and soldered fast to the plate 8.

FI'OIIfthB foregoing it Will be seen that by my design of radiator the Water capacity is relatively large and the radiating surface of metal is increased Without interfering with the free air.passage and Without adding materia lly to the expense of manufacture. From the foregoing description. taken in connection :With the accompanying draw ings it is thought that the complete construcing vgrooves.

alternate ones of said projections of a unit on the other ide of the plate, and means securing the plate to the respective units, said last named means comprising soldering grooves in the partition plate at and on the opposite side of the plate to the grooves which receive the lateral projections of the water-tube units, and solder in said solder- UMBERTO MAGNLY
